The Ultimate Breeze Through

~ The Hippie Adventure: Take It or Leave It?

I spoke of that job interview prior to my Finance exam. That was for an organization involved in community work, activism and the like. I didn't get the job I wanted but they offered me something else. Something that involves menial work, which I do not really mind doing but it's not on top of my list. And so I have let it slip down the drain as they rang me when I was holidaying in Tassie and then the dude who rang me went on hols as well. So really, whatever.

However, it brought to my awareness that there exists a World Youth Congress happening in Scotland mid next year. Yes, I applied for it. If I get in, I might just go to Scotland. An excuse to go to Europe and who knows where else.

~ Travelling Tassie

My first stab at the backpacking experience. We travelled rather economically and given the destination, it did not require too much moolah. I spent a fair bit of time contemplating and calculating my finances and the possible lack thereof. I do not desire to struggle in the near future with my meager income and my love for all things good (the food, the arts and what have ya).

Tassie life is so surreal. It is nothing like what I grew up with. It was seeing my primary school art works come alive, realizing how I used to be ultra obssessed with clouds and mountains and greens. Nights in Tassie are rather dull with hardly anything to do, so much of a contrast from Asia or just even Sydney. Should I be made to live there, I might just go nuts. Either way, I'll definitely get to work on my creativity.

~ Exceeding Three Degrees

And so I have passed my Masters degree with utmost glee on my part. I have bid my academic life a good farewell with very little desire to welcoming it back. Well that does not mean I will not ever study again but I have no intent of gaining a fourth degree for sanity's sake!

I shall embark on whatever journey that invites me and that I find appealing.

~ The Big Ponder On Sydney

I told Na I was looking into Melbourne and its appeal as a possible next destination. Life does not end in Sydney. No way. But I know I'll be here for a while. I am just starting so let's say I'll be here a few years.

There's church life to consider. I took a 2-week hiatus from Hillsong because I had exams and was on holidays. My cell group involvement is looking good again. Though I haven't started joining a new group, I have a lead now. Went to the Christmas special last night and crewed for TV this morning. I reckon I did well and can move on soon. Hopefully, I get to be on camera by February.

~ Tu or Ubsten?

I'm taking up Spanish. Languages are pretty tricky but I feel the need to keep learning, not wanting to shrink my pea-sized brain further. Besides, there's Josc to speak Spanish with anyway, not to mention the elites back home. As if! ;)

I'm currently struggling to manage my relationships. I've gotten to know myself in a number of ways, also recognizing the fact that I am a sole survivor with the tendency to be clingy should I be caught off-guard, attributable to my need for recognition, slight self-esteem issues and perhaps the lack and/or excess of certain nutritional elements in my diet.

Typical me to psychologize myself. But to sum things up, I'm just forced to deal with difficult people in rather squishy situations. Funny how some other friends from miles and miles away are in the same murky pool. What's even funnier is that you who want out would have to help your own pitiful self.
